REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder
by
The Center for Sleep Medicine
What is REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder
 Normal sleep for most people includes a period of rapid eye movement or
REM sleep where your brain is active, yet you are in a state of paralysis
even as you dream.
 When you are in REM sleep, while your body is at rest, you normally
experience irregular breathing, rapid eye movements, increased blood
pressure, and a loss of muscle tone.
Symptoms
 People transition from being awake to an REM stage before falling into
a deep sleep by exhibiting behaviours such as talking, yelling,
punching, kicking.
 They may sleepwalk as they act out dreams that are usually violent.
 These symptoms can not only disrupt sleep, but can lead to injury of
yourself or a sleeping partner.
Causes
 Doctors are unsure of the cause.
 In opinion of Doctors the distinctions between the different stages of sleep
break down so that the muscle paralysis experienced by most dreamers
does not take place.
 Before the stage where they act out violent dreams, those with REM
disorders may talk in their sleep or twitch for years before the full onset of
the REM Sleep Disorder
Conditions Similar to REM Sleep Disorder
 Sleep Eating Disorders, or binge eating while partly awake.
 Bedwetting, or failure to wake up when the bladder is full
 Sleep Talking, or talking out loud in one’s sleep.
 Sleep Paralysis, or the inability to move your body when falling asleep or
waking up.
 Sleep Hallucinations, or perceived events that seem real, which often
occur between sleeping and waking.
Treatment for REM Sleep Disorder
 REM sleep behaviour disorder often require drugs such as clonazepam to
mimic sleep paralysis.
 Even when these Sleep Disorder treatments prove successful at calming
down these sleep behaviours, an at-risk person can still develop Parkinson’s
or another disease later in life.
